21.A.130(b) AMC1 Statement of conformity for complete aircraft
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The description under this AMC refers only to the use of the aircraft Statement of
Conformity issued under Part 21 Section A Subpart F. Statement of Conformity under Part
21 Subpart F for products other than complete aircraft, and for parts and appliances is
described in AMC No 2 to 21.A.130(b).
Use of the aircraft Statement of Conformity issued by an approved production organisation
is described in 21.A.163(b) under Part 21 Section A Subpart G and the completion
instructions are to be found in the Appendices to Part 21.
The purpose of the aircraft Statement of Conformity (CAA Form 52) issued under Part 21
Section A Subpart F is to present to the CAA a complete aircraft. The CAA only validates
the Statement of Conformity if it finds, as described in 21.A.130 and its associated GM,
that the aircraft conforms with the type design and is in condition for safe operation.
2. GENERAL
The Statement of Conformity must comply with the format attached including block
numbers and the location of each Block. The size of each Block may however be varied to
suit the individual application, but not to the extent that would make the Statement of
Conformity unrecognisable. If in doubt consult the CAA.
The Statement of Conformity must either be preprinted or computer generated but in
either case the printing of lines and characters must be clear and legible. Preprinted
wording is permitted in accordance with the attached model but no other certification
statements are permitted.
Statements of Conformity must be issued in one or more of the official language(s) of the
issuing CAA with translations in English shown below, if required. Completion may be
either machine/computer printed or handwritten using block letters to permit easy reading.
A copy of the Statement of Conformity and all referenced attachments are to be retained
by the manufacturer. A copy of the validated Statement of Conformity is to be retained by
